The bishop invests new members of the Order at an investiture service approximately once every two years.
Initially it is expected that there will be two investitures, usually on a Saturday in the fall, close to All Saints. One will be at Christ Church Cathedral for the lower island and another in the northern half of Vancouver Island. However, the rules of the Order do allow for the bishop to have just one investiture at Christ Church Cathedral
In the event that a new officer or member is unable to attend their prescribed region’s investiture, it is permissible, with prior approval, for them to be invested at the alternate location.
